TERMS and CONDITIONS of Auction:

Registration & Bidding:

• Credit Card Authorization: All Bidders are required to provide a valid MasterCard, Visa or American Express and the appropriate Credit Card Authorization form (as instructed by MNA Staff) in order to bid. A $200 deposit authorization will be processed on the card provided (there will be no charge at this time, this is a “no transaction” authorization only). By registering, the Bidder hereby expressly authorizes MNA to charge this Card if the Bidder fails to pay their invoice in accordance with these Terms and Conditions of Auction (the Terms) within forty-eight (48) hours of the issuance of that invoice. MNA expressly reserves the right to waive the deposit authorization requirement any time it deems fit and at their sole discretion.

The deposit shall be paid by credit card and the requisite “Credit Card Authorization – Foreign Bid Deposit” form filled out and turned in to MNA staff prior to any such Bidder being approved to bid. If the Bidder does not win the bid on any lot, the deposit shall be credited back to the same credit card, and that credit card only, within 72 hours of the close of bidding. If the bidder wins the bid but fails to pay their invoice within 48 hours of its being issued, the bidder hereby expressly authorizes MNA, at their sole discretion, to either, 1) charge the credit card the full invoice amount, or 2) retain all or part of the deposit as liquidated damages without notice.

Further, MNA expressly reserves the right to reject any bid that is not commensurate with the value of the item being offered or that MNA, in their sole discretion, believes was made illegally or in bad faith. MNA and/or any of its agents or assigns may bid on any lot either for its own account or on behalf of a third party.

• ALL SALES ARE FINAL. No Bidder may retract their bid. No returns or refunds will be permitted. All sales are final.

• Buyer’s Premium: A “Buyer’s Premium” of 18% of the final hammer price shall be added to each invoice. Occasionally, the exceptionally prompt payment of invoices by either, and sometimes both, onsite and online Bidders will net a generous discount in the Buyer’s Premium charged. Please check Sale-Specific Terms and Conditions posted on our Website and/or on the catalog the day of the sale for more information and to see if any such discount applies to the auction you wish to participate in.

• Sales Tax: Applicable sales tax will likewise be added to the purchase price of all taxable items.

Any reseller not doing so risks their exempt status for that auction and, if sales tax is charged, will be required to seek a refund of those monies directly from the state taxing authority in the state in which the auction is held. ONCE COLLECTED, MNA WILL NOT REFUND STATE SALES TAX – NO EXCEPTIONS. Lots not paid for (and removed by published deadline and per the terms of removal, below) may be resold at public or private sale without further notice and any deficiency, together with all expenses of that resale and/or removal, will be charged to the defaulting purchaser.
